Have you tried searching for both Annie Stewart and Annie Mills marriages? (i presume this was your grandfather's surname?) It may be that she registered under her previous surname

Hi Jenna
I HAVE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE LOOK FOR HERi think she is not recorded
Annie Gellatly Stewart b. 1899 in Dundee Scotland came to England and married my Granfather in 1919 had 5 children with him( one was my mum )left him 10yrs later ,went off with william Henry Bacon and had a daughter Iris Bacon b.1931 in yarmouth she naver married william as i cannot find the marriage she died about 1942/3 in middlesex i think Iris was about 12ish she has been searched under Stewart , mills and Bacon but nothing at all Iris emigrated to oz in 1960 and died in 1990 age 59 william died in 1973 i manged to find Annies brothers daughter who told me most of this info ,you see it is a tangled web i just want to find her death in order to find her resting place

LOL

Obviously quick off the mark tonight Jenna.

That should get Carol started anyway.

Sue

i seem to be getting my messages in just before people tonite!

Here is a possible birth

Births Dec 1899
Forrest Beatrice Romford 4a 525

I would guess that this is the 1 year old from Essex in 1901

Sue

Looking at my 1901 decoder I see 24 Beatrice Forrests in 1901.
Only one is born in Essex (in Barking). She is 1 year old in 1901 so that would make her only 19 when married if she is the right one.

You need the marriage certificate to see if it has her age on it.

This is the code for the marriage of Beatrice and Samuel.


Marriages Sep 1919
Forrest Beatrice Turner Romford 4a 1456

You can buy the certificate by filling in the forms on http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificate/ and by using that code it should cost £7.

That will give you the fathers of Beatrice and Samuel.

Sue

cant find a birth for her around that area, they're mostly up north (around liverpool)

heres the marriage

Carol

Hi Paula ,Hilary ,Tracy
I have only just started researching on my fathers side ,no i dont have a death cert or do i know her fathers name yes Forrest was her maiden name ,i have heard from members of the family that they were from the krays hill gypsies which i believe was bilericay essex or basildon essex ,thats all i know
Carol

just out of curiosity is forrest her birth or married name.

Tracy

Looked on Free bmd but too many to know which one could be her. Do you have a death cert. for her as that may give you some clues to search back for her.
Hilary.
